Lyrics

Don??™t speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- hurts to touch
I??™m writing the book each and every day
Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
I??™ve been running on empty since you went away.

The spirit world looks down on us
Sad that we??™re apart
So please don??™t speak of my heart.

Whenever we talk she says hang on -- just hang on
Meanwhile I??™m drowning in the pouring rain
And each time we meet there??™s a sad farewell -- sad farewell
She tells me someday I??™m gonna love again.

The way that she walked out on me
Still tears me apart
So please don??™t speak of my heart.

Every day??™s an endless maze of dreams that fade and die
No one believed we were saying ???Goodbye??™
And every night I think of you I??™m still left wondering why
I can??™t believe that we??™re saying goodbye.

And when I wake up in the morning
And wonder where I??™m going to
It all came without a warning
What??™s a man supposed to do?

Don??™t let your heart break down
Don??™t let your heart break down.

Don??™t speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- it hurts to touch
I??™m writing the book each and every day
Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
I??™ve been running on empty since you went away.

The spirit world looks down on us,
Sad that we??™re apart
Don??™t wanna talk about it -- don??™t make me think about it
So please don??™t speak of my heart.
